'The Voice' battle rounds: Jordis Unga v Brian Fuente - video

The Voice contestants Jordis Unga and Brian Fuente went head to head on Monday night's (March 5) first battle round of the second season.

The Team Blake Shelton pair took to the stage for a performance of 'Ironic' by Alanis Morissette - who appeared on the show as a mentor for Adam Levine's artists - which ended in Jordis being voted through to the next stage.

Blake had help preparing his artists for battle from wife Miranda Lambert and friend Kelly Clarkson.

Christina Aguilera thought the overall performance was pitchy from both artists but said she would vote Jordis through on personality, while Cee Lo said he preferred watching Brian perform because he likes "aggressive energy" on stage. Adam said he would go for Jordis, but acknowledged that it was a "tough decision".

In the end, it was Blake's decision alone that determined who advanced to the live shows.

He said that he wanted a rocker for his team and he used Adam as an example of the sort of rock singer he was looking for. He agreed that some elements of the performance were pitchy and neither artist had done as well as they could have, so it came down to the fact that Jordis showed emotion in her performance.

Speaking to social media correspondent Christina Milian afterwards, Brian said: "It was just great being up there with Jordis and like we've said the entire time, just to be able to share this stage together and make it this far in the show is incredible.

"I will support her 150,000%."

He added: "There are so many talented people that have been on the show and are now removed from it, but that's just the nature of the show."

Jordis said that viewers will definitely hear from Brian in the future.
